Inception
2010, Legendary Pictures et al
Christopher Nolan's mind-altering, truly original exploration of dreams is as challenging as it is rewarding. It does require careful attention, though; I'd once read a review describing it as an example of "continuous exposition," and it's an apt description. The awe-inspiring visuals carry you down a seemingly bottomless rabbit hole from which you're never quite sure you've escaped. There are many memorable scenes, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt's fight in an ever-rotating hotel hallway will stick with you. If you love a good mind-f*ck, don't miss this.
